Tsz mate Some time ago I did quite a lot of work for Auscott ( hydraulinks ) at Moree , Narrabri , Warren and Trangie . The air fittings ( as you know ) have a dimple witch has to line up with the flat so it can open and close , I'm a Fitter & Turner but I drove for 19 years , got into it in 1976 , the Newell was almost my second home , I'm 72 now and I still love Trucks , I love what your doing with your Chanel , good on ya mate
Those air fittings are called Glad Ends I've done alot of triple work to Darwin from Adelaide and those fittings are used they allow more air to get through especially when your 53.5meters long triple road train
One of my habits I've had for a very long time, and pays off, is to feel the heat on the hubs when I stopped. It gives you a proper indication if your getting a hot bearing, that can cause major dramas.
hey Tez im glad you speak plain Australian everyone wants to comment on the connection names im just happy to get these pointers❤❤❤❤❤ ya work mate keep it up for the rest of us
Some great tips Tez. Those twist on air hose couplings are what we have always used in the railway to run air through the entire train. They can leak pretty badly if the rubber seal is at all damaged though. 👍
We all had those connections in the EU. As you showed the red and blue. {There are now even ones with everything in 1 block. Connect and secure once} I always had silicone spray with me to keep the rubbers slightly moist and slideable.And they don't dry out. {not the kind of oil that eats rubber} A drop of motor oil will also do the trick. This makes the couplings fit more easily and the rubbers are less likely to be damaged when coupling, because they slide past each other better than when they are dry. It is easy to replace new rubber if it is worn out. They last a very long time. But if you connect a lot, it is useful to have a new set of rubbers with you. Have good weekend.
@@tezthetruckie Grip on the metal when you twist. Not he hose.He can be damaged by doing that and start leek and break.A good twist til the end and they cant blow off. But the rubbers need some care to keep them flexible and just a bit slippery. My pleasure. Tanks for yours and your time of the vids as wel. Have a good one.
Another good video Tez, I see you turn the Collar on the brake lines, the next day after I left your home I went over a small causeway down between Narrabri and Coona' As I crossed it there's a sign ROUGH SURFACE, on the Southern side was long black skid marks that then veered off the road, 2 things that driver didn't do, read the sign and turn the brake connector collars....LMAO.

Also no moving parts to jam up with dirt and and get sticky collars and be a pain undo or lock
Hi Tez, good tips mate
Those type of air connections are called glad hands and are used everywhere in the USA
Thanks for the info
those twist-on fittings are great imo mate --- much more positive -- less likely to blow off .
But that is a neat way to match up fittings

I should do that more. I don't that every time.
good tip also works for utes

Hey 👋 were you singing that old Beach Boys song, In them old cotton fields back home ? 😅
the condition of your air hoses would get you shut diwn in the USA.
the dot cops get picky at times.
They can be sometimes here as well.
Just like cunning a piano
Love those cotton trucks its like snowing
